Chapter 1708: Fighting Yan Yu Again

Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar hadn't expected that, right after entering the space around the Spirit Tip World, they would run into Yan Yu.

His appearance was clearly because of the Spirit Tip World, but their appearance seemed to draw him away.

Although it was Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar that came this time, Yan Yu recognized him immediately.

Yan Yu thought it was a stroke of fate and was about to take action, but as he approached, he suddenly realized that the aura of the person in front of him had changed. The surging chaos in the void suddenly stagnated, and his expression froze. "You... Have you already advanced to the Seventh Order?”

Yan Yu's tone rose, but he quickly discovered something else. "No, that's not right! If you really became a Sage, you shouldn’t have left the Heaven Observation Field. Is this a clone?! You...”

Yan Yu was well aware of what kind of Sage could create a Martial Emptiness Realm clone.

However, that made it even harder to believe. How could Shang Xia possibly possess a Martial Emptiness Realm clone?! Could his cultivation have already reached the second star?

He recalled that when he first met Shang Xia, he was still a True Immortal!

How many years had passed since their last meeting?

Not only had the other party broken through to the Martial Emptiness Realm, but he had even progressed to the second star, which was astonishing.

Originally, Yan Yu was furious and ready to wreak havoc upon sensing Shang Xia's arrival.

However, the series of unexpected events unfolding before him caused Yan Yu to freeze in place for a moment, even hesitant to make a move against Shang Xia.

But Yan Yu's hesitation did not mean that Shang Xia would hold back.

Especially since he just completed the perfection of the Origin Star Robe, Shang Xia wanted to test out how strong his Origin Star Clone was and he was eager to fight the moment Yan Yu appeared.

Watching Yan Yu's indecision, the Origin Star Avatar shook his robe, and in an instant, countless stars shot towards Yan Yu.

"How dare you!" Yan Yu was immediately enraged. He had only been momentarily stunned by the increase in Shang Xia's cultivation level.

As a Sage of a Heavenly Field, how could Yan Yu's martial will be easily influenced?

Boiling chaotic currents burst from his mouth, nose, and ears, each stream precisely colliding and annihilating a streak of starlight in the void.

The Origin Star Robe behind the Origin Star Avatar fluttered, and the stars dotted in the depths of the void suddenly sparkled brightly. Misty starlight enveloped him, giving him a godly appearance.

Yan Yu's face, emerging on the surface of the chaotic currents, also appeared like a giant beast swallowing the heavens. An immense force was drawn from the void as the chaotic streams out there were drawn over.

The confrontation between the 2 Sages seemed to have completely transcended the usual martial exchanges. It was a higher level of conflict.

Yan Yu's cultivation had long reached the pinnacle of the first star of the Martial Emptiness Realm. If it were not for him being unable to incorporating the Spirit Tip World forcefully into their Heavenly Field, he would have broke through to the second star.

He had thought that even if Shang Xia caught him off guard, it was a mere clone and wouldn’t be able to do much.

Yet, reality quickly proved him wrong!

The power displayed by Shang Xia’s clone the instant he moved was not only enough to counter Yan Yu's tactical suppression but even seemed to match him, who was at the peak of the first star.

If Yan Yu's true body were present, then Shang Xia would certainly see that the Essence Du World’s Sage had turned green with envy.

However, compared to Yan Yu's irritation, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar also appeared solemn.

Although Yan Yu wasn’t personally present and hadn’t sent a clone either, as he merely projected his energy across the void, the reduction in his strength seemed severely limited.

As for what that meant...

That meant that in those 2 years, the Essence Du World once again closed its distance with the Spirit Tip World!

The distance between the two worlds had closed to the extent that Yan Yu's power was barely diminished.

Although the Spirit Tip World had always resisted merging into the Essence Du Heavenly Field, reality was that they were still being pulled towards the Essence World and would eventually be fused either way.

Even though Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar would be able to burst forth with the strength of a peak first star Sage, he would need a lot of time to recover.

More critically, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar, while possessing formidable strength, could not deploy many of his original moves. Even if he could, it would possess significantly reduced strength.

If they fought for a short time, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar was capable of fighting Yan Yu in the void without falling to a disadvantage.

But as time passed, the weakness would become apparent.

Someone needed to break the deadlock at the moment, and thankfully, the person Shang Xia was waiting for appeared!

With 2 Sages fighting in the space around the Spirit Tip World, how could they not react?

In fact, as soon as Yan Yu launched his attack, the Spirit Tip World detected it and prepared accordingly.

However, the subsequent turn of events completely exceeded their expectations. Following Yan Yu, another unfamiliar Sage abruptly appeared in another direction. Before the Spirit Tip World could panic over the arrival of two Sages, Yan Yu suddenly turned towards the other expert and they quickly came to blows!

Fortunately, the Spirit Tip World quickly deduced the identity of the Sage from the location of his appearance. Therefore, they dared not remain passive observers in such a situation but swiftly adjusted the formation covering their world. Then, Guan Ziqing, empowered by the world origin of his world, approached the scene of the battle between the Sages.

Guan Ziqing did not hide his presence or aura. Or to be more accurate, he couldn’t hide it from either Sage present.

And when Yan Yu sensed Guan Ziqing's arrival, he realized the danger and intended to retreat temporarily.

How could Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar not realize the same? He wasn’t about to let Yan Yu run and he immediately increased the strength of his offensive to stop his retreat.

At the same time, Guan Ziqing also took action the moment he confirmed the identity of the Origin Star Avatar.

Empowered by the power of his world, Guan Ziqing's moves were as if he wielded the decrees of heaven. In the space around the Spirit Tip World, his every action drew on a power that even Shang Xia, a bystander, found startling... Although it wasn’t his first time watching Guan Ziqing in action.

However, from the perspective of an expert in the Seven Star Realm, while Guan Ziqing's strength borrowed from the plane world was formidable, there was always a sense of rigidity and sluggishness during his transitions in attack.

Because of this, faced with Yan Yu's frequent assaults, Guan Ziqing and the Spirit Tip World could often only defend passively.
